Chapter 109 - Proper 4 v 4

"Crush them Grigori"!

"Suffocate them Boleras"!

"Grooooaaa"!

"Paaaaoooo"!

Charging straight from the summoning circles were a pair of majimonsters that were both large and brutal looking. As the majimonsters charged straight for Azalea, the Dragon's eye flared up and identified them as two very different Earth majimonsters

Name: Grigori

Species name: Cragmatik

Affinity: Earth

Grade: Silver

Traits: Sharp, Armed.

Description: Monsters made of earth and stone, they are usually found in mountains, mines and quarries. They usually subsist on their surroundings crystals, metals and ores and are usually quite sluggish. However, if they are hungry enough and there happens to be a caravan carrying something tasty...

Name: Boleras

Species name: Sludgephant

Affinities: Earth/Water

Grade: Silver

Traits: Massive, Brawny

Description: Resembling elephants, these monsters spend their days...like an elephant. They bathe in mud and dust, they eat grass, they explore nature, all in familial herds called baths. Few binders risk binding a Sludgephant, because invoking the wrath of one involves invoking the wrath of the while family. It's also known they hang out with mundane elephants as well.

"Bori! Take the Sludgephant, I got the Cragmatik!", I heard Savina shout.

"On it! Take it down Ulvor"!

Savina held her drajule like it was a pen and used it to draw a perfect circle in the air. Meanwhile, Bori's tusks began to glow and he shouted into a existence a ring of energy. A pair of summoning circles appeared in front of me, one blue and white while the other was brown and red, which meant Bori was bringing a Fire/Earth majimonster to this fight.

Before the two bruisers got close to Azalea, they were intercepted by my friends' majimonsters who came rushing out of their respective circles. Savina had opted to go with Triton and had him shield slam against the Cragmatik's club. Meanwhile, Bori had summoned-

[BY THE DIVINES, HOW AND WHY?!], Voxea suddenly shouted as I stared at Bori's unknown monster, which looked like a volcano was combined with a giant boar.

_________________________________________

Name: Ulvor

Species name: Boaruptodon

Affinities: Earth/Fire

Grade: Silver

Traits: Fire Body, Obsidian Blood

Description: N/A

Voxea's Notes: Paloa. The Great Molten Sun of the Obsidian Forge sect and my ex-gir-rival. She was my rival. She was an incredibly powerful pyromancer and volcamancer that had a perchance of making dangerous fire type majimonster ranging from Boaruptodon to Obsididrake. While most fire majimonsters are weak to water techniques, Paloa's have a little...trick to them.

_________________________________________

[What do you mean by trick?], I asked Voxea.

[Just watch].

As Ulvor charged at the Sludgephant, the Sludgephant's trunk glowed with a blue light before release a huge spray of water at the Boaruptodon. A burst of steam erupted as the water made contact with the volcanic pig monster, but instead of the expected squeal of pain, I heard the sound of glass cracking.

As the steam cleared, it soon became clear that it wasn't glass cracking, but strange black crystals growing from the monsters' body.

[Quick science lesson: when magma is cooled under the right conditions, they form a type of glass called obsidian], Voxea quickly explained, [which is very brittle...but also sharper than the finest swords! And in the Boaruptodon's case, this next part is going to hurt]!

"REEEEE"!

Ulvor let out a loud war squeal before its whole body began to glow brown. In the next moment, it had charged straight at Sludgephant with its newly formed obsidian tusks levelled at it. Not one to be intimidated, the Sludgephant matched Ulvor charge for charge with a pair of glowing blue tusks.

As the two giants collided with one another, another loud crack echoed out, followed by the Sludgephant being pushed back a few feet with shards of obsidian embedded into its face! Ulvor meanwhile had lost its fancy obsidian bits and starting glowing like lava again.

[That doesn't look pleasant], I commented while staring at the Sludgephant.

[Now imagine those shards embedded into your flesh. Also, Azalea's about to get flanked by the Sombra], Voxea replied.

[What]?

I snapped my focus back to Azalea, seeing she was currently engaged with the Jewel Satyr, only to see the Sombra charging up a powerful wind technique off to the side and in the air. I was about to command Azalea to disengage and dodge, until I was stopped by an arm holding an ornate pipe.

"If it's air control they want, they'll have to contest it with me. Indigo, would you be dear?", Albina said before taking a puff from her pipe. A summoning circle appeared before, adorned with purple and light blue summoning patterns. Albina then exhaled a cloud is smoke into the circle, and as the smoke passed through it, the scent of incense filled the air and the smoke had transformed into a majimonster with a smoke-like body, feminine shape and adorned in golden ornaments.

Name: Indigo

Species Name: Djinncense

Affinities: Air/Mystic

Grade: Silver

Traits: Flight, Illusion Body

Description: N/A

Voxea's Notes: Another one of the Desert Beauty's creations, Djinncense is the cousin to both Djinnferno and the Dancense Burner, but has a distinct lack of the fire ability. Instead, she took the innate mystic ability of the former and combined with the air affinity of the latter to create a monster born of smoke, seduction and illusion.

_________________________________________

After having sufficiently charged its technique, the Sombra fired off a visible force of air at Azalea. Moments before it could hit her, Indigo had already flown straight into its flight path. Before I could ask Albina what she was doing, she just held up her hand and said, "Watch".

For some inexplicable reason, the Djinncense suddenly began to dance in a strange undualating manner and as it did, it used one of its hands to grab onto the air technique. Instead of bursting or doing damage, the technique had somehow condense into a ball of air that the Djinncense began to infuse with smoke as she danced with it like it was a prop for her performance. After a bit, the smoke infusion stopped and the Djinncense threw it back at the Sombra at even faster speed then before.

The Sombra was momentarily shocked by the sudden reversal, but it had enough sense to jerk its body away from the oncoming smoke ball. The smoke ball missed its intended target, but it suddenly jerked down towards the ground and made a smokescreen that blocked everyone's vision.

I could still sense Azalea's position but no one else's, so I had her return to my side of the battlefield. Once the smoke cleared up a bit, it became clear that everyone else had the same idea in mind. Two distinct teams of four had formed and were now staring daggers at each other.

"Now then! It appears we have a proper four on four team battle, no? Ready for round 2?", Albina loudly announced as she pointed her pipe towards Diamonda and her goons.
